Treated with Proton pump inhibitor- no help when doing aerobic excercise. Had Cardio consult- 1997 performed cath procedure-report all normal. continued to have throat pain on excercise. 4 years past using pepto bismal for releif during high excercise- not much help. returned for Cardio consult. New Dr. did thalium stress test. Normal! even with throat pain. returned to Dr. year later when friend had heart attack with similar symptoms. Dr. agreed to cath. Found 85% blockage of LAD and 80% blockage in RCA confirmed with IVUS. Stented LDA with complications- Diagonal Artery closed down during procedure- requiring 2 extra stents- one not coated due to small diameter of artery. Stented RCA- no problems. returned to normal activities-asprin 325mg;vytorin 10/10 and plavix 75mg. Burning in throat still occurring. Dr said he thought that might be from one of the smaller arteris that he could not stent. Reaccomplished angiogram- found diagnoal restenosed; balloned artery- looked ok. Dr. advised excersie under supvervision. 6 mos later; thershold for onset of angina much later in excercise routine. No more throat pain- pain more localized lower in the chest.
